It was known that Arizona would be short one of its post players after junior forward Lauren Ware underwent surgery last week. It turned out that the Wildcats were even more shorthanded in the frontcourt.
Freshman Maya Nnaji did not play in Arizona’s season opener against Northern Arizona, although head coach Adia Barnes said that she would be available on Sunday. The Wildcats defeated the Northern Arizona Lumberjacks in McKale Center 113-56 despite being shorthanded.
Including their final exhibition game, it was the second straight time the Wildcats had scored at least 100 points.
